Who Should I Start? Armani Rogers or Brady Russell

Friday, January 17, 8:15 PM

The Buffalo Bills announced on Friday that they signed tight end Armani Rogers to a Reserve/Futures deal. Rogers, a former undrafted free agent, hasn't appeared in the NFL since 2022 when he played in 11 games (three starts) for the Washington Commanders. The former quarterback was with the Atlanta Falcons on their practice squad during the 2024 season but wasn't active for any regular-season games. The 27-year-old tore his Achilles in the offseason of 2023. In his 11 games with the Commanders in 2022, he caught five of his six targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns while carrying the ball twice for 26 yards. Rogers now latches on with the Bills but won't be eligible to play at all this postseason. He will continue his development as a pass-catcher into the offseason and will hope to remain with Buffalo through training camp this summer.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Brady Russell was on the receiving end of a 13-yard touchdown pass in Saturday's 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 25-year-old caught a pass just past the line of scrimmage then eluded three would-be tacklers before diving into the end zone. Russell had a total of three receptions on three targets for 25 receiving yards along with the score. The second-year player was signed off the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad last season and was used mainly as a special teams player, logging only 16 offensive snaps all season. Russell is listed as the fourth tight end on the Seahawks' depth chart and does not pose a threat to Noah Fant's (foot) standing at the top.
